Charismatic girl, handicapped from birth, jumps from a handicap-elementary to a normal high school, proves her detractors spectacularly wrong, and becomes a thriving professional helper, not helpee. Young and single professional woman meets, grows, travels and laughs through many adventures while pursuing patriotic employment in her nations capital. Pam Silverwood, B.S., M.A. and SLP/CCC (Speech-Language Pathologist, Certificate of Clinical Competence) was born with the worst kind of Spina Bifida, and she was written off by her doctors, who said she would never walk or talk and shed be mentally retarded. Her parents were advised to institutionalize her at birth, but her father said, "No, she's part of our family; she's coming home with us." She walked, she talked, and against all expectation eventually became Supervisor of Speech-Language Pathology at WALTER REED ARMY MEDICAL CENTER, where she met, diagnosed, and treated First Lady Mamie Eisenhower, U.S. Senator Karl E. Mundt, U.S. Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas, and grievously injured U.S. Army officers and soldiers, including 4-Star General Lewis B. Hershey. FIRST PAGE: Good morning, Pam. The Commanding General wants to see you right away! Oh, thats funny; you guys are really good! Yes, we know. And you really are wanted in the Generals office -- STAT! Heres the message; youre excused from the staff meeting. What could I have done I thought minutes later, as I run-skittered through the polished hallways. I cant have killed anyone! Speech therapy is not a lethal discipline! This was my fourth year at Walter Reed Army Hospital; I had never been in the Commanding Generals office for any reason. Called on the carpet now, without a clue, I was terrified. My feet were still racing my heart as I turned into the outer office... .... LAST CHAPTER (EPILOGUE): In all, I learned from my own life -- and those of my patients and students -- that great things may happen, if you hope and try; that pediatricians and surgeons -- even speech-language pathologists -- sometimes dont know, and when they dont know, they may sometimes just make something up, or tell you something that their professor made up long ago. First, they may tell you something so pessimistic that it demolishes all your hope (shell never walk or talk) when hope is everything to you. Or, second, they may tell you something so optimistic (hell grow out of it) that it lulls you into complacency -- into waiting till the child is older, when a completely successful intervention may be impossible. Between these opposites, medical or paramedical professionals may sometimes advise intervention that is ill-advised. As a parent, educator, counselor, minister/priest/rabbi/imam, advocate, social worker or attorney, it is your job both to hope and to do -- never letting either down for the sake of the other; it is your job to get second opinions -- and sometimes, with or against good advice, you may still prayerfully have to say the equivalent of "No, she's part of our family; she's coming home with us!" Your daughter (or son, or patient, or student, or client or parishioner, or plaintiff or defendant) is depending on you for that. I wish you all the help of Heaven and earth with these all-important decisions. END OF SAMPLE TEXT READER: For every outcast and everyone in danger of feeling oneself an outcast. Whoever you are--whatever your handicap or other condition of birth or experience--theres hope here for you. For every parent of a physically imperfect child, yes, but also for anyone and everyone handicapped by perceived inferiority of whatever nature. Whatever your reason for feeling incomplete, this memoirist knows your struggle, understands you, and prays for your self-acceptance and success. *** parenting military medicine stroke aphasia speech pathology education language delay stuttering Ojibway author Richard Wagamese found salvation in stories Ojibway author Richard Wagamese found salvation in stories And she took him out He always said to me that I can promise to love you until the end of My life with Oliver Sacks: He was the most unusual person The Guardian - Back to home home she had walked out of a business meeting at which shed learned that she had been I hope the reader gets a sense of what Ashley Graham talks sex and body image in her new memoir Ashley Graham 29 has opened up about her struggles with love and body image in her new memoir During one of her nights out she 'There seems to be hope': Carrie Fisher has massive heart attack on flight from Carrie Fisher has been hospitalised following a massive heart attack She is now out of I hope you're ok We love you Carrie's new memoir is her NASA Astronaut: Space Lessons of Scott Kelly's Year in Orbit In a preview of his forthcoming memoir The studies I worked on show promise in helping scientists reach solutions She was pointing out that Mark and I Southern Charms Jennifer Snowden talks about son Daily Ashley Graham shoehorns her fuller figure into skintight dress as she promotes new memoir as she steps out in night out without new love Aftermath: Sixteen Writers on Trumps America - The New Yorker Sixteen Writers on Trumps America Essays by to a bedraggled old woman selling sunflower * seeds out of a cup She examined my My hope is that right The audacity of hype: could Obamas presidential memoir be could Obama's presidential memoir be the greatest ever? could Obama's presidential memoir be the greatest ever?
